The Arlington Fire Department's Hazardous Materials Team responded to a hazmat situation at The Parks Mall at Arlington on Sunday morning.
The situation has been mitigated and The Parks Mall is open again, according to a statement from Arlington Fire.
At about 2 a.m. a custodial worker at the mall called 911 to report feeling ill because of a strange smell.
Once hazmat teams arrived, an ammonia leak was detected from the ice rink equipment and first responders found 75lbs of ammonia gas filled the mall, according to information from the Arlington Public Information Officer.

Crews were able to stop the leak, but areas are still detecting ammonia so no one was allowed inside until Arlington Fire gave the "all clear," according to a post from Arlington Police on X.
Just after 2 p.m., the fire department said the scene was cleared and the mall was reopened to the public.
